Aries: The Sun and Mercury enter your partnership sector for the next four weeks. It’s time to focus on relationships of all kinds. Collaboration is very important, and it’s rare that you’ll accomplish anything extraordinary on your own during this time. You’re getting out of your own head when you talk to people. As Venus enters Scorpio, relationships are further intensified by the energy of the eighth house. You strengthen bonds through personal revelations. Intimacy, vulnerability, and admissions are common. Be transparent about your desires, be honest with yourself, ask for help when you need it, and accept that help gracefully when it comes.

Bull: The Sun and Mercury in Venus-ruled Libra feel more comfortable this season. You feel settled enough in yourself to focus on the details and make some self-improvement moves. This four-week period has the potential to set you on a new path of improved habits and routines that will bring you closer to a practical goal. The theme is improvement. Venus moves into your opposite sign of Scorpio and turns up the heat on relationships. Emotions are intense, and reasons are ancient and deep. This brings great insight that can help you connect with yourself and others. You need to be willing to have an encounter or two with things you consider taboo. Judgment and reservations only create stagnation. Be different, be rebellious.

Fortunately, once you overcome any fleeting hostile thoughts, you will have great luck in friendships and romances.
